If a bully goes too far, the parents get involved. But what if there's no authority to escalate to? Then you're not dealing with a bully but a monster. How should you deal with a monster? Feed it your virgins and hope it doesn't ask for more next time? What if the monster's mind is pure greed?

Trump is playing multiplayer 4D chess, but instead of playing to win he's either a useful idiot or a willing collaborator, traitor to his own people. Putin would never win against just China or the US, nor the EU and definitely not the EU allied with the US. But Trump upends it.

www.newscientist.com/article/2511... - Cheating is not "winning" and we should stop calling it that. When you cheat, you steal the match and the prize, you don't win them. When you cheat, you ruin the game, you don't win it. When a match or prize is stolen, it is still lost. As is a ruined game.
Cheating just three times massively ups the chance of winning at chess
Using a chess computer to advise you on just three moves during a game dramatically increases your chances of winning in a way that is difficult for others to spot

What if you lived in 1930s or 1940s Germany and one of your family members or friends worked for the Gestapo or SS? How does that reflect on the friends and families of the ~20,000 people working in ICE? Do you think Germans in the early 20th century would point at the 'good' work being done?

@scottmanley.bsky.social Hi, love your content. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by calling the "AI takes water"-argument a "myth". True: power is the real issue - but power production typically requires / heats massive quantities of water. The argument is often made poorly, not a "myth".

Robert Gregory called the Bondi attack “a tragedy but entirely foreseeable”. He may be right that Australia failed to protect these people, which should be taken seriously, but that doesn't change the fact that the State of Israel is not a victim but a culprit in this ongoing drama.

The useful economic life of the GPU compute layer in AI data centres is approximately 5–7 years, with a major GPU refresh cycle every 3–4 years. This means hyperscalers and AI companies like OpenAI must recover their *trillions* of GPU capex within just a few years to remain competitive. Absurd.
